Scotland play England tomorrow in what is very likely to be the title decider in the girls' home golf internationals at Southerndown Golf Club, South Wales.
Both countries looked a cut above the opposition in scoring big wins on a windy opening day.
Scotland, the defending champions, beat Ireland 7 1/2-1 1/2 after the Irish had held their own in the foursomes. Scotland won all six singles.
England whitewashed Wales 9-0, winning all three foursomes and six singles.
Details:
SCOTLAND 7 1/2, IRELAND 1 1/2
Foursomes - K Caithness, S Watson bt S Cunningham, A Murphy 4 and 3; C Booth, M Briggs halved with V Bradshaw, S Meadow; K MacDonald, R Niven lost to Lisa Maguire, Leona Maguire 1 hole (1 1/2-1 1/2).
Singles - Booth bt K Gallagher 4 and 3, Watson bt Bradshaw 6 and 5, Niven bt Lisa Maguire 2 and 1, P Pretswell bt L Mernagh 1 hole, Briggs bt Leona Maguire 1 hole, Caithness bt Meadow 5 and 4 (6-0).
